Sneak a
Peek Saturday
is a feature that I like to indulge in because I cannot wait to read
the tasty tid bits that are put out there for us ravenous readers to
enjoy.
This Saturday the sneak peek is on A.S. King's ASK THE PASSENGERS. She is on of my favorite authors for not only is she an amazing writer but she is also very kind and sincere. Her newest novel comes out soon but in the mean time you can enjoy this tasty bit.
Astrid Jones copes with her small town's gossip and narrow-mindedness by staring at the sky and imagining that she's sending love to the passengers in the airplanes flying high over her backyard. Maybe they'll know what to do with it. Maybe it'll make them happy. Maybe they'll need it. Her mother doesn't want it, her father's always stoned, her perfect sister's too busy trying to fit in, and the people in her small town would never allow her to love the person she really wants to: another girl named Dee. There's no one Astrid feels she can talk to about this deep secret or the profound questions that she's trying to answer. But little does she know just how much sending her love--and asking the right questions--will affect the passengers' lives, and her own, for the better.
In this unmistakably original portrayal of a girl struggling to break free of society's boxes and definitions, Printz Honor author A.S. King asks readers to question everything--and offers hope to those who will never stop seeking and sharing real love
